Escaping the Heat

Want to escape the Albuquerque heat? Go up! The altitude in Sandia Mountains along Sandia Crest is over 10,000 feet (Sandia Crest, 10,678ft). The temperature on the crest can easily be 20 degrees colder than it is in Albuquerque with summer temperatures rarely exceeding 78 degrees.

This photo was shot on Sandia Crest, February, 2005, using a 40 year old Yashica Mat medium format camera and Fuji Velvia film.
